Well, some people are just more special than others, folks.
...Genachowski brokered a deal with a company called LightSquared to offer new wireless internet service. Venture capitalist corporatist Philip Falcone is a major investor in LightSquared, and he’s also a big donor to Democrats. LightSquared needed a waiver from the FCC because it wants to operate its network using ground frequencies rather than a satellite link. The FCC stealthily granted the waiver after a comment period that occurred over the Thanksgiving holiday. The problem, LightSquared’s networks interfere with GPS!
Garmin loses reliability when within 3.6 miles of a LightSquared transmitter; aircraft GPS systems go wonky within 5.6 miles.
DoD is concerned, too.
